Vítor Pereira described Jørgen Strand-Larsen as a very important player, praising both his technical ability and his character. Strand-Larsen scored two late goals to help Wolves reach the third round of the Carabao Cup. Newcastle reportedly made an approach worth up to £55 million for the Norway international. Strand-Larsen completed a permanent move to Wolves on July 1 after loan clauses were met. Pereira acknowledged that every player has a price while expressing a desire for Strand-Larsen to remain at the club.
If it's my decision, of course [Strand-Larsen stays]. Of course. Because he's a very important player. It's not only about the technical and tactical, it's about the character. He's a player with character,
I can imagine his mind in this moment because he listens to a lot of things, reading a lot of things, and then he keeps the commitment. Until now, Jørgen is our player. We'll see what happens. I understand football. Football is football. Every player has a price, I believe. Even [ Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo]. I understand football, but for me, he is very, very important for us. We'll see what happens.
